Virtual and real: Symbolic and natural experiences with social robots

Byron Reeves. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

Interactions with social robots are symbolic experiences guided by the pretense that robots depict real people. But they can also be natural experiences that are direct, automatic, and independent of any thoughtful mapping between what is real and depicted. Both experiences are important, both may apply within the same interaction, and they may vary within a person over time.
